Location of Petrochemical Plants in Singapore – Jurong Island
Jurong Island is located on the western coast of Singapore. It is home to leading petrochemical companies as well as third party service providers of utilities, tankages and terminalling facilities, warehouses, maintenance and repair centres.

Singapore firmly believes in the permanence of the outsourcing trend. Today, companies on Jurong Island are able to outsource non-core manufacturing operations like utilities, waste treatment, logistics and storage and terminalling. This translates to lowering of fixed capital investments by 10-15%, hence generating a better return on capital employed.
Jurong Island will be developed into a chemical transshipment centre for the region. 80 hectares of land has been designated for the logistics hub (Banyan Logistics Node) for the movement of bulk chemicals. Companies can also export bulk solids using Singapore’s main port (PSA) which is less than 10 kilometres away.
8
Companies can also work with the Institute of Chemical Engineering & Sciences (ICES), located in Jurong Island itself, in areas ranging from basic chemical R&D (eg. catalysis) to process optimisation.
The Island is getting ready for the future with the Jurong Island Version 2.0 (JIv2.0) initiative. As Singapore gears itself for the increasing global competition, JIv2.0 is set to transform Singapore’s petrochemicals hub with future-ready solutions. This initiative adopts a “whole-of-government” effort to enhance Jurong Island’s competitiveness as well as sustainability by strengthening robustness of the current system, achieving a higher level of resource optimisation, and developing industrial optionality.

Key Developments in 2016/2017 The following are some developments that will further strengthen the growth of the Singapore chemical industry over the next few years: ▪ ExxonMobil
On 16 February 2017, ExxonMobil announced that it will be expanding its Singapore refinery to increase the production of base oil, which is used to manufacture lubricants. Construction is expected to start in the second quarter of this year, and is to be completed in 2019. Extracted from Singapore EDB website
▪ Vopak On 15 Jun 2016, Vopak Terminals officially opened South-east Asia’s first independent refrigerated liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) facility at its Banyan Terminal on Jurong Island. It will provide Singapore’s crackers with an alternative feedstock to naphtha. The 80,000cu m facility is an 80:20 partnership between Vopak and SK Gas International Pte Ltd.

▪ Afton Chemical
On 18 May 2016, US chemical firm Afton Chemical Corporation opened a US$100m (S$137m) lubricant additive manufacturing plant on Jurong Island, which is Afton’s first greenfield manufacturing investment in 35 years. The new facility will produce key components used in Afton’s engine oil additives to meet rising regional and global demand. The plant will be Afton’s hub for the Asia-Pacific region, and is central to the company’s ‘made in Asia for Asia’ strategy, which is aimed at ensuring Afton provides its customers with real-time solutions conceived and built in the region, improving lead time and service capabilities for companies in Asia.

▪ Clariant
On 10 June 2015, Swiss specialty chemicals company Clariant unveiled its Consumer Care Competence Centre in Singapore. Situated at the
10
International Business Park, the centre is Clariant’s fifth application development centre in Asia Pacific but its first to focus on sensorial testing for personal and home-care products. The centre includes an application lab, and aims to better align its products with customers in the Asia Pacific region.

▪ Celanese On 28 April 2015, New York-listed chemicals gaint, Celanese Corporation, has begun construction of a vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE) emulsions production unit at its acetyls facility on Jurong Island. The unit that is expected to begin production by mid-2016, will be the third VAE investment by Celanese in Asia. The Singapore plant will support not only the Southeast Asia market, but also other Asia Pacific countries including India, Australia and New Zealand. Extracted from Singapore EDB website
▪ Jurong Island Rock Cavern (JRC) Project
Jurong Rock Cavern (JRC) is an innovative initiative driven by JTC to increase underground oil storage capacity on Jurong Island. JRC will comprise an oil storage complex to be built at subterranean depths beneath the seabed of Banyan Basin. Upon completion, the underground caverns will have a potential storage capacity of close to 3 million cubic metres catering specifically to liquid hydrocarbons like crude oil, condensates and diesel oil.
Phase 1 of the JRC consists of 8km of tunnels and 5 caverns housing a total of 9 storage galleries. The caverns were built using a technique that drills and blasts sedimentary rock. For greater stability, the inner walls were lined with rock bolts. Two of its access shafts and start-up tunnels have been completed in 2009 and the project is now moving on to the construction of the tunnels, caverns and associated facilities. Phase 2 of the project will double the facility’s storage capacity. GK-JCPL Consortium, a Jurong International partnership with French engineering firm Geostock, was awarded the contract to provide basic engineering design and construction management services for the Caverns and its associated facilities. Jurong International is
11
responsible for many of the heavy infrastructure and engineering projects associated with Jurong Island, including its initial formation via reclamation and joining together of seven islands. The completion of the first two caverns will yield a capacity of 0.48 million m3. The entire facility with a capacity of 1.47 million m3 of oil storage space will be made available to the oil storage industry. At 27m high, 20m wide and 340m long, the caverns stand as tall as a 9-storey building. The caverns provide strategic storage for better fuel security. It also gives Singapore a competitive advantage to attract more investors. JRC is a milestone project for JTC and marks the next phase in the evolution of Singapore’s petroleum and chemicals industry.

About the Singapore Chemical Industry Council Limited The Singapore Chemical Industry Council, or SCIC, is the official body representing companies from the chemical industry in Singapore. Its membership composition comprises key MNCs, SMEs, Logistics & Service Providers as well as Traders. SCIC was officially formed under the umbrella of the former Singapore Manufacturers Association on 8th May 1979 by a group of 17 manufacturers. It was incorporated as an independent entity on 28 June 2007. SCIC was appointed in April 2011 by SPRING Singapore - National Standards body to manage the National Chemical Standards committee & its technical committees
SCIC is also the national administrator of the Responsible Care initiative, endorsed by the International Council of Chemical Associations, to promote the spirit, principles and practices of Responsible Care to the Singapore Chemical Industry.
Through advocating Responsible Care, the chemical industry in Singapore can make a valuable contribution to the sustainable development and improvement of lives and the environment.
